¡°Boom!!¡±
With a loud noise, a big hole was blown out of the door in the blink of an eye.
The Japanese troops standing behind the wooden gate never expected that what was attacking the city gate was not the enemy's battering ram or truck, but a large-caliber artillery shell.
The cannonball was detonated directly the moment it touched the wooden door.
In the violent explosion, a big hole was blown out of the wooden door. The Japanese army behind the wooden door was also blown to the ground in a large area.
Many Japanese soldiers were even torn into pieces by the shock wave, and many had their bodies pierced by broken wood shot from the air. The entire city gate cave was like hell at this time.
Everywhere you can see the smashed corpses of Japanese soldiers, as well as the wounded lying on the ground crying in pain.
"Beautiful, one more shot."
The cannon responsible for bombarding the city gate shouted loudly.
The soldiers nearby immediately began loading shells for the flat-firing cannon.
They cooperated very skillfully, and within a few seconds, they reloaded the cannonballs directly.
This time, they tilted the muzzle slightly, no longer aiming at the center of the city gate, but at the nearby gate that was not shattered.
"Get out and don't get close to the city gate."
The remaining Japanese troops in the city gate cave saw the muzzles over there and aimed at the city gate again. They immediately ran out shouting.
But at this moment, the large-caliber flat-firing cannon fired again.
¡°Boom!!¡±
A loud noise was heard again, and the shell directly broke one of the doors.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers immediately burst into cheers.
"Smoke screen."
The front commander shouted, and smoke bombs were fired at the city gate.
Afterwards, a large number of soldiers rushed into the smoke screen.
They hoped to use the cover of the smoke screen to block the sight of the Japanese firepower on the city gate tower.
¡°Top it up!!¡±
The Japanese commanders also realized the consequences if the city gate tower was lost. He immediately issued a death order and even dispatched several heavy machine guns on the top of the city.
And at this moment, amid the smoke screen at the city gate, soldiers had already rushed over.
"Behind these infantrymen were two tanks that rumbled forward.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers below rushed forward without saying a word and fought with the Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed out of the city gate holes.
At this time, tanks and armored vehicles also began to charge forward along the city gate.
When the Japanese army saw this scene, they shouted: "Come here, throw explosives down, don't let the enemy tanks and armored vehicles come in."
"But sir, there are still our people below."
"Hurry up, or it will be too late."
The Japanese commander yelled, picked up a cluster grenade, and threw it down.
The grenade landed directly behind the armored vehicle.
With a loud noise, the armored vehicle was almost overturned by the huge impact of the grenade, but it was not directly blown up. Instead, it stubbornly pushed forward for more than ten meters before being completely unable to move.
The grenade not only destroyed one armored vehicle, but the Eighth Route Army and Fourth Army soldiers nearby, as well as the Japanese soldiers fighting with them, were also blown up by the powerful cluster grenade.
But at the rear, more tanks and armored vehicles, as well as stormtroopers, had already rushed out of the city gate.
The city gate here is more than ten meters wide. Hundreds of soldiers, as well as five or six tanks and armored vehicles rushed in at once.
Not only the city gate tower, but also other city walls collapsed in many places. Some soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army rushed directly along the collapsed city wall, stepping on the broken bricks, and rushed towards the city wall.
The Japanese army also became ruthless. Many of them jumped off the city wall directly, with a large number of grenades tied to their bodies, and died together with the charging Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army soldiers.
The whole war scene was extremely tragic.
On the several-kilometer-long city wall front, corpses of both sides can be seen everywhere.
Okamura NejiHe put the telescope away with some trembling.
He had known that the enemy would launch a ferocious offensive, but he did not expect that the enemy's offensive would be so ferocious.
At this moment, Okamura Neiji finally understood why Fanzhi County fell and why Qinglong Town fell.
Indeed, facing such advanced equipment and a large number of soldiers who are not afraid of death, once the enemy launches a real offensive, they really have no power to fight back.
What's more, there are not many elite Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan City at this time.
There are many people inside, even temporarily transferred troops from the Imperial Association Army. There are even inspection teams and people from the special higher education courses.
" Its combat effectiveness is really inferior to that of the Japanese regular army of the Class A Division.
Coupled with the continuous defeats, the morale of the Taiyuan City defenders has long been very low.
If we suddenly encounter such a fierce attack at this time, failure will only be a matter of time.
"Your Excellency General, the city gate is about to be lost. Our garrison in Wengcheng has been broken through by the enemy's armored forces.
Now the enemy's firepower is so fierce that our people can't even stay on top of the city. As long as it is on top of the city, enemy rockets and machine gun fire will cover it. "
A Japanese commander covered in blood ran over.
This is a Japanese brigade commander. In a morning of continuous fighting, his troops numbered almost over half of the tens of thousands.
The original strength of more than 6,000 troops could be used to continue fighting at this time, but only 3,000 were left.
This is still a defensive operation. If it were to be a field operation, I am afraid that his more than 6,000 people would not be enough to fill the teeth of the enemy's armored forces.
Okamura Neiji glanced at him meaningfully, and then said: "Order the troops to retreat from the south gate, disperse and break out, and move closer to the southern Shanxi area. Then retreat from southern Shanxi to the northern Henan area."
He finally stopped insisting and chose to issue a retreat order.
"yes!!"
The Japanese brigade commander, who was covered in blood, responded loudly.
The order to retreat was quickly conveyed.
After receiving the order to retreat, the Japanese army, which was already at the end of its battle, instantly collapsed the defense lines on the city wall.
A large number of Japanese troops retreated from the city wall and began to approach the south gate crazily along the street.
The moment the Japanese army retreated, the attacking soldiers of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army rushed to the top of the city and occupied the city wall.
At the same time, their machine gunners have begun to set up heavy machine guns and general machine guns above the city wall. Plan to shoot at the fleeing Japanese troops.
